LASIK Spotlight: Happy Patient… Now Employee
Patient Spotlight: LASIK
This month, we have a special Patient Spotlight to share. Bri recently completed her LASIK procedure with Dr. Russ. This patient was so happy with her experience, she applied to be a part of the SES family! Let’s hear about her experience.
Why did you come to Shreveport Eye with Dr. Van Norman?
I recently lost 2 pair of glasses and decided to go ahead and get my eyes fixed rather than buying another pair of glasses.
What specific procedures did Dr. Van Norman perform?
I scheduled LASIK eye surgery with Dr. Russ to correct my nearsighted vision.
What was your experience with the procedure?
It was fast, easy and the healing time was nothing! I could see immediately after the procedure and was amazed.
What can you do/see now that you couldn’t before?
Literally everything! My vision was blurred six inches from my face before LASIK and now its zero. I can finally wear cute sunglasses.
Would you recommend this to others? Why?
Absolutely! The whole process was so easy and the staff is amazing. Dr. Van Norman is so personable and makes everything so easy. Dr. Borel is such a sweetheart and they’re both so fun to work for! It was such a great experience, when the opportunity to work at the clinic arose, I jumped on it!
Advantages of Lasik
The balance in vision between your eyes will usually be restored more rapidly than in other more complicated eye surgery procedures. In many cases, patients experience near to perfect vision the very next day after our LASIK procedure is performed.
After your LASIK is performed there is no longer a need for contacts or glasses.
The increased self-confidence that many LASIK patients experience can truly be life-changing. After LASIK surgery is complete and the patient is healed, faces do not have to be partially covered up by glasses any longer. Improved eyesight can often cause people to become more outgoing and social which leads them to live happier lives.
Although cost is important in your deciding factor for LASIK, your decision should not be based solely on cost. Shreveport Eye Specialists accepts many forms of payment including financed payment plans through Care Credit. We do our best to ensure the price of LASIK isn’t the reason why you can’t live your life without great vision.
